For the past several days my custom start orb that I use has been reverting to the default win7 orb with no input from me. If i pull up the srart orb changer it shows the custom orb but the default orb is displayed. Just curious on what might be causing this? I am using the win7 Start Orb Changer v4.

I would try changing back to default via the program, then apply your custom orb again. If you don't have a lot of modifications, you could run the System File Checker, then reapply the orb. You'd have to repatch your system for 3rd party themes if you use them, and reapply any modifications. A Guy
